Enjoy the footage of my tomatoes and the other plants growing on my back porch — they’re truly wonders of urban nature. Keep your fingers double-crossed that the pigeons don’t get my tomatoes before I do.
BTW, I saw the system requirements for the Flip Mino after I ordered it. It says that OS 10.5 is required, but so far it’s working without the upgrade. Thoughts on taking my G4 Powerbook to the next level? I can’t decide if it’s worth the trouble.
Walked out of work last night into a prop setup for the next Batman movie. Gotham PD vehicles everywhere & real Chicago police everywhere, too. Guess they were there to protect the Gotham PD? Weird.

The latest art project along Michigan Avenue uses re-purposed refrigerators. I recently had to replace mine, so it’s nice to think it ended up as a work of art. Actually, I wouldn’t mind if my ‘fridge looked like this for real.
